5.0 out of 5 stars A Great book for home improvement projects!, June 9, 2009
It turned to be very useful for us - first time homeowners. Our house was a foreclosure, so there were tons of things to fix about it. This book has information on basic repairs such as repairing a light fixture, fixing pipes, replacing toilets, installing faucets, painting tips, new floor installation, gutters, etc. etc. The photos are detailed, description is simple. We definitely recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Homeowner basics made simple, December 3, 2008
Of the basics books I've seen, this one may cover fewer projects, but it covers them with background info/detail many others don't.
